Go for the Block
Unless you plan on eating 95% of your caloric energy
from dining halls, I highly recommend picking up a
block plan. It gives you the restraints of a finite
number of meals, while also giving you the
flexibility you need to make meals work around you.
Budget
On the shallower end of the complexity curve, you can
get by with setting spending limits for a bi-weekly
period and then making subdivisions within it.
Budget
If you’re looking to make a more complex budget, I
recommend checking out apps like Mint or Expense IQ.
Cook
Of course, the trade-off is another valuable resource:
time. In order to save time when cooking meals, try
cooking in bulk.
Cook
Also, think about how you can simplify your meals.
It’s very fun to cook a fancy teriyaki salmon fillet or
roasted chicken with lemon-butter sauce, but it’s not
exactly easy on your wallet.

Buy in Bulk
Wholesale stores like Sam’s Club, CostCo and BJ’s
will go a long way in reducing the money you spend
on food and other household good.
Buy in Bulk
Even when not shopping at wholesale stores, opt for
the bigger quantities when you can (and when it
makes sense).
Saturday Evening Post
Love Generic Brands
When it comes to cutting cost, cutting out name-
brand labels will go a long way.
Become a Sales Hawk
Be on the look out for sales. I’m not going to go the
limits of recommending coupon-clipping (though
you can definitely do that), but I will say be vigilant
when you’re at the store.
Ration When You Eat Out
Simply put: don’t do this often. Eating out is a
privilege. It’s a reward. It’s a treat.
